How to save video to Sony Vegas

Video and audio settings

Before you save the video in the editor, you need to set the necessary settings.

For this it is necessary to do the following:

Select the desired segment on the video scale (forthis, slide the yellow sliders in different directions). If you want to process the video in its entirety, then right click on the scale and select the "Set selection to Project" function.
Next, select the "Project Properties" function by clicking on the option icon in the second row of the toolbar (the arrow in the box).
In the tab "Video" ("Video"), putnecessary settings (resolution, frame rate, video quality). The optimal setting is 720p30 (30 frames per second with a screen resolution of 720 pixels).
Next, you need to set the sound settings in the "Audio" tab (number of channels (mono, stereo), sound quality).
Check the settings by playing the video in the editor.

Save video

After you have set all the settings for the video and audio parameters and checked them, proceed to save the movie directly.

In the menu bar, select "File" and click on "Render As". To switch to the file saving menu, you can use the Crtl + M shortcut.
In the window that opens, select the save location ("Save in", "File name", "Save as type").
Review the list of functions, where necessaryInclusion of this or that option is required to tick (note that the "Render loop region only" option is enabled by default).
Then select the templates to save ("Template"). If there are no suitable parameters in the list, click on the "Custom" button and make the necessary changes.
In the tabs "Video" / "Video" and "Audio" / "Audio" moreonce check the settings, and select the codecs for video compression (in the "Birate" / "Bitrate" field). The higher the bitrate (the number of bits for storing one second of video), the better the quality of the content, but at the same time, the size of the video material is also larger. Choose also codecs for sound.
When all the settings are set and checked, click the "OK" / "Save" button.
Then click on the "Render" button and wait for the process to finish.

The process of converting video and saving it inthe quality of the finished video can be quite long. Basically, the duration of the procedure depends on the timing of the material and the power of the computer (laptop).
